So when it does not 'just work' I tend to think that it is because it can't.ĭidn't try turning off the firewall, but if it requires that I would not want to use it anyway.
It does not require a lot of windoze-like 'jumping thru hoops' to make it work. Maybe someone can tell me from experience that a Graphite will listen to a USB wifi dongle?Ī bit of my personal philosophy. My thinking is that the Graphite ABS (Apples first ABS) is simply set up to listen to Apple's own Airport card when it comes to the ABS' internal 56k modem. In actuality the dongle is only connected to the Graphite ABS. If you noticed on my jpg of my settings the very top left window shows that the MacBook thinks the dongle is indeed connected to the internet.
